    At Hampton Downs us marshals have a special name for turn one (i shall not mention it...) but all corners have had their special moments... it depends on the day...

    Question

    What do marshals actually do?

    Sometimes fuck all, except enjoy the racing up close.
    Just never get so caught up that you fail to get the right flag/s out to warn oncoming riders of *whatever*.
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    Generally, appropriate flags for incidents, respond to incidents, pick up riders that fall off, pick up bikes that rider has thrown away and observe racing for issues with bikes and rider behaviour.

    The officials eyes and ears around the circuit, full instructions are given on the day, newbies don't need to worry about full details as points chiefs handle communication.

    They get a little Marshals badge/side arm to wear and a cowboy hat...but they must hand it all back in before leaving the track.

    Have a free bump, in the form of me letting everyone down. My fan belt decided to start slipping this morning, took it to the boys to get them to look, and it was decided we should replace it. Given it was about to snap! So that, and the cam belt etc were all done today. Which means I have no gas money. Which means no epic road trip.

    Hi Sharon, i dont know why the email would bounce, it should work, anyways, we only have one meeting left (possibly two) and thats the ART Day in April which i'd probably see you actually participate in... if Gremlin or Toto has your email address, get either of them to pass it on to me (they have mine) if you are keen to help out with next season ok.

    P.S. AMCC isnt organizing this weekends last round of Nationals at Taupo

    Cheers,

    Ange
